PILLOW.

' Application filed July 13,

My invention relates to pillows, cushions, comforts, and similar articles, and more particularly to the means whereby they may be suspended from clotheslines or the like.

Where clothes pins have been employed for fastening pillows or thick heavy articles to a clothesline, it has been diiiicult to so attach them that the articles will not become detached and fall.

One object of my invention is to provide a unitary fastening or suspending device that will permit of a more effective connection between a pillow and a clothesline.

Another object of my invention is to pro vide a pocket or recess into which the fastening device may be inserted when the pillow is not in use.

Some of the forms which my invention may take are shown in the accompanying drawing,

wherein Figure 1 shows a pillow suspended from a clothesline by one of its corners; Fig. 2 shows-a pillow or other article suspended from a clothesline by two corners; Fig. 3 is an enlarged view showing one of the fastening devices of Figs. 1 or 2, in open position; Fig. 4: is a view, on an enlarged scale, taken on the line IV IV of Fig. 9 and Fig. 5 is a view of a portion of a pillow showing the fastening device in concealed position when the same is not in use.

'The pillows 6 and 7 are supported by tabs or strips 8 of cloth or other suitable material which are provided with snap fastening devices so that the outer ends of the tabs may be fastened together above a clotheslineS). The inner ends of the tabs 8 are suitably secured tothe pillow 7, as for instance in the manner shown in Fig. 4:, wherein the tabs are sewed between the inturned edges, adjacent to the corner of the pillow.

A triangularly-shaped patch or piece of 1928. I Serial No. 292,452.

cloth 10 is sewed to the corner of-the pillow along twoedges thereof and partially along its third edge, thestitching being omitted for a portion of its third edge, asshown more clearly in' 4 in order to permit the tabs to be inserted into the pocket thus formed, as shown in Fig. 5, when the pillow is in use and is not hung upon a elothesline. The tab and the snap fastening are therefore ordinarily concealed and do not detract fromthe ap pearance or from the convenient use of the pillow. V

It will. be noted that the pillows 6 and 7 are each composed of cloth side pieces, whose edges are inturned, as shown in Fig; f and sewed together, the inner ends of the tabs 8 being sewed between such edges, thus effecting a secure fastening of these tabs to the pillow.

I claim as my invention 1. The combination witha pillow or the like, of suspending strips secured to the plllUW at a point adjacent to one corner thereof, and a t1.iangularly-shaped piece of cloth seem-ed at its edges to said corner, a portion of one of said edges being free to permit the insertion of the strips into the pocket formed by said cloth and the pillow.

2. The combination. with a pillow or the like, of a suspendin strip secured to one edge of the pillow at a point adjacent to one corner thereof and normally disposed in parallelism to one edge of the pillow, and a piece of cloth secured to the said corner at its outer edges, a portion ofone edge thereof being free to permit the insertion of the strip into the pocket formed by said cloth and the pillow.

In testimony whereof I, the said SAMUEL BUCHMAN, have hereunto set my hand.

SAMUEL BUCHMAN.
